Cigarette Smell on Leather Furniture

I got a leather recliner at a sale and it smells like cigarette smoke which makes my living room smell like that. What can I use to get the smell out?

Can you cut several lawn and leaf size bags to cover the chair using tape to seal it up?

Then maybe you could put a ton of baking soda at the bottom of the bag for a few days. Or maybe cat litter.

Also, did you try leather cleaner yet? Maybe that will help clean it.

Also saddle soap, maybe that would work.

Good luck!

RE: Cigarette Smell on Leather Furniture

First remove as much as possible with leather shampoo, then cover with a leather polish. That would be my best guess. Ask at the feed store how they recommend taking care of saddle leather, or ask at the dry cleaner? Or call a furniture store, they may even carry the product that would help. It's not the nicotine, it's the smoke which is an oily granular stuff accumulating on the surface. Good luck, sounds like a project well worth the effort. (06/18/2007)
